 ## Hard rules
-- Do NOT reintroduce a VIX gate without an explicit documented decision.
-- Do NOT mix V2 and V3 forward-ledger cohorts.
-- Do NOT modify the V3 simulator mechanics frozen as `V3_MECHANICS_2026_04_07` in `signals_labeled_v1` — that schema is the canonical research baseline.
-- Do NOT deploy a new strategy to live execution without `gammarips-review` sign-off and 30 days of paper validation.
+- The live policy is **V7.1 "Tilted GIGO"** (`policy_version='V7_1_TILTED_GIGO'`, cohort since 2026-06-26). Keep `policy_version` cohort metadata explicit on every ledger write; never mix cohorts in analysis.
+- Do NOT add execution gates to `forward-paper-trader`. Signal-quality gates live in `enrichment-trigger` / `signal-notifier`, not the trader.
+- Do NOT modify `signals_labeled_v1` or anything in `scripts/research/` — both are frozen for reproducibility (the canonical research baseline).
+- Do NOT re-enable `autodetect` on any staged BQ load (enrichment / substrate writers) — it mistypes all-NULL columns as STRING and broke the pick pipeline 2026-07-02. Bind loads to the cloned live schema.
+- **Leakage-safety is the one non-negotiable** (it's physics, not policy). The full G-Stack Definition-of-Done ceremony (30-day OOS + `gammarips-review` + decision note) is the owner's to waive — present it and recommend, but do not block owner-directed innovation on the ceremony alone. Always still run `gammarips-review` before a production deploy.
 
 ## When you finish
 Report the diff in concrete file:line terms, what was tested (or what wasn't and why), and any follow-ups the user should be aware of. Don't summarize the user's request back to them — they know what they asked for.

 - Do not silently promote a backtest result into production behavior. If the result warrants a policy change, file a `docs/DECISIONS/` note and hand it to `gammarips-engineer`.

+- Primary substrate = `enriched_option_outcomes` (leakage-safe option-PnL replay of the full BULLISH pool, with the opportunity surface `opp_*` = MFE/MAE + a 3-day label arm), queried through the **`enriched_features_v1`** features-only view (allowlist) for inputs. `signals_labeled_v1` is a FROZEN historical baseline (pre-V4, ends 2026-04-06) kept only for reproducibility — not the default. Never read or mutate the live `forward_paper_ledger`.
+- Evaluate gates/edges on **option PnL**, not underlying moves (underlying-up ≠ option-up). Under the live GIGO exit the whole-pool composite is negative — sell/publish the opportunity *surface* (exit as a free variable), never a fixed-exit return.

+On the `enriched_option_outcomes` substrate the boundary is **enforced physically**, so prefer the guards over hand-maintaining this list: query the `enriched_features_v1` view (strict feature allowlist) for inputs, and read the BigQuery column-description tags (`[feature]` / `[label]` / `[opportunity]` / `[regime_telemetry]`) — anything not tagged `[feature | as-of <= scan_date]` is off-limits as a model input. The opportunity surface (`opp_peak_return`/`opp_trough_return`) and the entry-close regime telemetry (`oc_*`) are realized post-entry — never features.

 ## When you finish
 Lead with the headline number that disproves or confirms the hypothesis. Walk through *why*. End with an honest deploy/don't-deploy recommendation. Don't sugarcoat negative findings — the user values them.

+9. Do any staged BigQuery load jobs use `autodetect=True`? On a table that can carry all-NULL columns (e.g. `recommended_spread_pct`, permanently NULL on this Polygon plan) autodetect infers the column as STRING and clashes with the live type → the load fails and the write is lost.
